摘要
Using a sample of companies listed on the Shenzhen ChiNext board between 2009 and 2011, this paper analyzes the effect of shareholding proportion for the controlling shareholder on the firms' R&D investment intensity. I find that the relation between R&D intensity and the equity of de facto controller is U-shape. My findings support the agency conflict between majority and minority shareholders.
